The American Gold Eagle is the standard by which all gold bullion coins in the United States are measured. Struck in 22-karat gold with inspirational and patriotic designs, this popular coin series serves as the official gold bullion product of the nation. Today, the 2011-W ½ oz Proof American Gold Eagle Coin is available for purchase through JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
American Gold Eagle coins were introduced for the first time in 1986 following passage of the Gold Bullion Coin Act of 1985 by Congress. The coin program originally featured a bullion version with four available weights (1 oz, ½ oz, ¼ oz, and 1/10 oz), and a proof version in just 1 oz. The ½ oz coin was added to the proof version in 1987, followed by the ¼ oz and 1/10 oz coins in 1988.
The popularity of proof coins among investors is a relatively modern occurrence. Proof coins were originally struck by mints in the early 20th century as a test of the diecasts and striking process, as well as for use in archives. Today, proof coins such as this 2011-W ½ oz Proof American Gold Eagle are coveted by collectors for their sharper rims and design features.
On the obverse side of the coin is Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ 1905 depiction of Lady Liberty, which was first used on the $20 Gold Double Eagle. The reverse features a design used only on the American Gold Eagle, that of a male bald eagle returning to the family nest.
Each coin in this listing is in perfect proof condition. A PR70 coin has its full, original luster, and no detracting flaws. Deep-cameo is used to define a proof coin with a frosted design set that appears to float above a deeply-mirrored background field.
